Our New Dog

We got a new dog yesterday. He is a wonderful dog, we named him Rusty. He is a year old so hes fully grown but still has a little puppy in him. He has all his shots and he is neutered whoohoo. He listens very well and is house trained and very playful. The perfect family dog. Him and Jack go hand in paw. Jack lays all over him and can run around with him and copies the dog licking the chair haha. Rusty loves Jack and is very good with him. We are all excited to have a fun family dog.

Almost Back to Normal

My hands are pretty much back to normal i will just have some pain for the next couple months and i should be good to go whohooo. Christmas was fun this year with Jack. He attacked his presents, and I bought way too much because the toy room is overflowing. Awesome. But it was worth it, he was so cute and excited. We went to Utah for a couple days where it was snowing like crazy..little too cold.. I like the heat. I have been super busy lately, and Jack is not sleeping again...ahhh lucky me and we want to have another...what's wrong with me haha. He's my little energizer bunny. He is talking quite a bit now, he is getting to big. Although I can't complain he loves to mop with the swiffer and throw the trash away. He copies everything we say, i said what the crap the other day and so did he, we gotta watch our mouths. oops. No is his favorite word. of course. Wade is doing the biggest loser with some people at work and hes already lost like 8 pounds in a week, why do men lose weight so quick. :) well i gotta put jack down for a nap so i can clean ahhh my life.

Updating on my Surgeries

Well the top pictures is a pictures of my left hand that was operated on yesterday. The second picture is my right hand that was done last Tuesday, it looks bad but it doesn't hurt at all what is looks like :) Those bruises don't hurt at all just surgery stuff. I already feel a hundred times better still hurts a little but after a couple of months the nerves will fully unpinch and i will be free from any pain. I had the best doctor and the nurses were fantastic. Both surgeries went as well as they could go i am so please to have this done and over with and to be able to type and write and sleep with out excruciating pain. Its such a wonderful blessing to have this done. It has definitely been an experience trying to be one handed and do things at a slower pace I've over done it a little bit but that's just me. It is especially hard not to over do it with Jack ha ha my little firecracker. He has been so cute though he comes up and points and says owie mommy and kisses my hands. He so cute. Wade has been a big help too, he took the day off yesterday and has helped me clean because i cant get the wrapped up hand wet. I'm so grateful for my boys and for all the prayers.

No More Pain

Hooray!!!! I am so excited because we went to the Brown Hand Center for my Carpal tunnel today and got all my testing done. The nerve test was not fun they poked 18 needles in my arm and hands ya i had to lay down because I almost past out!!! go figure me and needles!! Anyways I am excited because I have surgery tomorrow on my right hand and surgery on the 20th for my left hand!!! THen hopefully all the pain will be gone. It has been a five year battle of constant pain and I am so excited to finally get it done and over with and be able to write type clean, read books do all the things with my hand without them hurting anymore. It was sure luck they could get me in before the holidays, thats why prayers work. The surgery is simple and it is only about 10 mins long and its outpatient but they will put me under. The recovery time is about a week, but the cool thing is with this new release surgery they dont slice you open it is only two little incisions and it is done with a laser so minimum scarring and only a week recovery. I am a little nervous but i got a blessing from sweet Wade and I think im good to go! I probably won't update my status for a while beings I will only be able to use one hand. Hooray!
